How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.

- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.
